Here's the second half of my 12 day run of kitbashing and figure-making...
On day 7, I made 7 Myconids. I used Air-Dry Clay and added a few props. These were fun, fast and turned out well. Possibly my favorite batch of the whole run.
Next, I did a batch of undead. The skull is actually Das modelling clay in a Halloween chocolate mould. The rest are converted toy soldiers (boy, did I ever dig deep into my bag-o-soldiers this year!
The ninth day was dedicated to: Goblins. I realized too late that I didn't have photos that matched most of the goblins in the photo... really just 2 of them were made from my small-scall models with FIMO heads. The others were recast from a bunch of board game figurines.
On day 10, I made 10 NPCS - these are villagers and guards and such. I actually made 15 or so, but I needed something for day 10 and just grabbed a bunch from the 'finished' pile. They are all recasts. As with other recasts, facial features got lost. But they look good enough for NPCs.
Day 11: Armorered Warriors. More recasts. Details turned out a bit better with these guys.
On the last day of kitbash, I did a whole slew of orcs. I really like how they turned out - looking like demented cavemen/Texas Chainsaw Massacre cosplayers. In game, I do the pig-faced orcs, but these guys remind me of Bakshi Fire & Ice orcs (if that's what those are) and they are pretty cool. Recasts with thermoplastic, for the most part.
Well, that's the lot. And it is a lot... If you do the math, I made another 78 minis this year. My 2 year running total then is 156. Actually, it's quite a bit more... Maybe next year, seeing as I am starting to have a storage problem, I'll do 12 days with a single model each day, and I'll concentrate on quality over quantity :) Who knows... I might even learn how to paint.
